A&L using Martin's name to sell life insurance?

Hi

I just thought I'd make Martin or the MSE team aware that Alliance and Leicester are quoting Martin in order to try and sell life insurance. When I was in the branch this morning there was a poster on the counter with various quotes and one of them was:

"One child in 20 loses a parent before they've finished full time education."

I'm not sure if they have permission to do this, or even need permission? I know the site does include that quote, but it doesn't recommend buying life insurance from A&L!

Come on Martin own up!!!!

And if they are quoting Martin, who is Martin quoting (as he couldn't have done original research to get that figure, can he?).

Hi Edinburghlass

Thanks, but we know Martins said it. The question is, where did Martin get it from and should A&L be quoting him?

I'm afraid that I think this is rubbish...:rolleyes:

Martin would never do this... :money:
